"I am writing regarding the P-51A... (Serial #). She was sitting on jacks at Cal Aero Tech when I attended A/C maintenance training there in June of 1951. I often felt sadness for that aircraft, as I was sure it was destined for the bone yard. You cannot imagine the thrill it gave me to run across your museum and see her so beautiful and know she was safe. It made me misty-eyed. I honor you for maintaining a beautiful legacy."

Flying & Static Aircraft

The Planes of Fame Air Museum is a "living history" museum, where the aircraft are not only preserved, but are kept flying!

Through the generosity of the many people who donate funds or aircraft parts to the museum and the dozens of volunteers who donate their time to restore and maintain the aircraft, many of these rare warbirds are in flying condition.

To share the collection with the public, our warbirds are flown regularly, participating in airshows, military base open houses, various events, and are used in the making of television programs and motion picture presentations.

As a result of sharing our collection, a specific aircraft may be absent from our Chino or Valle locations at times. Please check with the Museum before visiting, if you want to check on the availability of a specific aircraft. Check out the Aircraft Flight Schedule page to see when various aircraft will be away and/or flying.
